When should you actually see a doctor for an injury?
According to **Dr. Jason Snibbe, orthopedic surgeon for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Kardashians**, there are a few signs worth paying attention to.
If you hurt your knee, ankle, or leg but can still walk comfortably, he says it may be reasonable to give your body a couple of days and see how it responds.
But some symptoms deserve medical attention sooner:
🦴 You can't walk or move normally
🦴 There's significant swelling
🦴 You notice a visible deformity
🦴 You're experiencing unusual grinding or popping that wasn't there before
Dr. Snibbe also emphasizes that he has a **low threshold for getting an injury checked out**. Urgent care or an X-ray can sometimes provide valuable reassurance that you're not dealing with something more serious.
The bigger lesson?
Listen when your body tells you something feels different.
Sometimes an injury needs time to heal. Sometimes it needs another set of eyes.
